Angry

"He-hello... Um... I'm Alexa, Alexa Rutterford, Sir...."

[Alexa Rutterford? Wait, you-]

TUT TUT!

Alexa blinked when the call was suddenly disconnected. Alexa tried to dial the number again, but a wrong dialing number was the answer to each of her calls. Alexa's feet started tapping on the floor. Her brows furrowed even more as various speculations started to fill her mind.

I kept it in a place where Dom, Rika, or other servants couldn't touch it. The calling number belongs to a man. He recognized me but immediately hung up on me and somehow made it impossible for me to contact him again. I think the paper was saved when I lost my memory after asking Dom to eat together that time. But what if I'm wrong? That paper could have been there a long time ago, ever since I started cheating on Dom? Alexa thought. She pondered for a long time before a guess crossed her mind.

"Don't tell me that man is... my affair?"

KNOCK KNOCK!

Alexa's thoughts and muttering were interrupted when someone knocked on her bedroom door. Unlike usual, Rika entered her room without waiting for Alexa to allow it.

Alexa hadn't even had time to hide the paper in her hand and the cell phone she was holding when Rika walked over to her. Alexa didn't know if it was just her feelings or not. However, Alexa could see a trace of anger that was trying to be hidden on Rika's flat face.

"I'm sorry, Madam. But why don't you get some rest? Do you want to contact Mr. Dominic? Are you having trouble sleeping again?"

Alexa took a step back when Rika tried to press her again like before. Alexa tried to crumple the paper in her hand, trying her best not to make Rika suspicious of her.

"Madam, please forgive me. However, can you give me the paper you are holding right now? Mr. Dominic still forbids you from having contact with anyone. Contacting outsiders can cause rumors to rise again in the future. And it has become my job to make sure that doesn't happen to you again."

As Alexa initially suspected, Rika was completely aware of the existence of the paper she was trying to hide in her hand because she looked different when she approached Alexa this time. Even so, Alexa remained silent to emphasize that she would not give the paper to Rika.

"How did you know I was holding the paper containing the phone number, Rika?" Alexa asked suspiciously. Rika only entered when Alexa had finished trying to call the number again. However, just because Alexa was holding paper and a cell phone, Rika could tell that she was holding someone else's phone number and had just finished calling them. Everything was too perfect as if the girl was always paying attention to Alexa even though she wasn't beside her.

Realizing her mistake, Rika withdrew her outstretched hand. She looked deeply at Alexa but refused to say anything to her.

Rika knew that one wrong word could make Alexa suspicious of her again. Alexa in suspicious mode is dangerous for her. Rika decided to keep quiet and let Alexa guess with her thoughts.

"You... you weren't spying on me, were you? You still don't trust me? Even after I didn't remember anything anymore and continued to be with you?!"

Alexa suddenly felt angry when she came to that conclusion. Alexa tried to look in all corners of her room before asking Rika coldly.

"Where is it? Where is the device you used to spy on me?" Alexa asked coldly. Rika tried to remain silent until Alexa suddenly grabbed her collar.

"You don't believe me because I used to be a wife who liked to have affairs like that?! You installed a bug in my room, didn't you? Tell me, Rika. Why are you doing all this to me!"

Alexa shouted angrily as she pushed Rika hard until the girl stumbled backward. Her head hurt again because her emotions suddenly rose. Alexa hissed softly but tried to remain standing straight and looked angrily at Rika, who was still staring at her calmly.

Alexa didn't like that look. Rika seemed to be looking at her like a child throwing a tantrum, and she didn't need to take it seriously.

"Madam is a person who has a history of PTSD and depression. Even when you no longer remember anything, you can still be in danger because your legs are no longer as strong as before. We were just worried about your safety and decided to install a camera in the room just in case something untoward happens to you."

In the end, Rika still opened her mouth to explain something. Alexa laughed dryly at the explanation. Alexa didn't expect that she had only been treated as a sick patient until now.

"Are you... watching me all the time? Every activity I do in this room, do you see it?"

Alexa's voice was weak as she asked. Rika was just about to answer before Alexa's voice cut her off again.

"Don't try to lie to me in any way, Rika. Trust me, I can tell when you're lying to me."

Alexa stared at Rika sharply as she spoke. Rika knows that Alexa never plays around with what she says. Lying will only make Alexa even more angry with her. She eventually had to tell the truth, even though it would make Alexa furious with them.

"... Yes. I saw it," said Rika honestly. Alexa's face suddenly turned red with anger. The woman started dropping things, hoping to find the camera Rika was talking about.

When her room had turned into a mess, Alexa finally found the small camera that had been tucked into the bookshelf in her room all this time. Alexa slammed the camera on the floor before rushing into the bathroom as the next place to search.

Doing the same thing as before, Alexa again found a small camera installed near the shower heater. Alexa is furious now. She didn't expect that Dominic would do something outrageous like this just to keep an eye on her.

"You always see it, don't you? When I shower, when I have sex with Dominic, and when I change clothes. YOU ALWAYS SEE IT, DON'T YOU?!"

Unable to hold back her anger any longer, Alexa started screaming with emotion. Her breath was ragged with anger. For the first time, she was truly nauseous seeing Rika's still flat expression in a situation like this. Alexa had a great desire to hit that face, a face that now looked like it was insulting her anger.

"I only look after the cameras when Mr. Dominic can't do it, Madam. Especially the cameras installed in the bathroom. Only Mr. Dominic can access them from his laptop and cellphone," said Rika.

"That doesn't answer why you did this to me! What do you think I am?! You're the one who's sick here! Get out of my room right now!" shouted Alexa angrily. Alexa could no longer express how angry she was when Rika chose to remain silent where she was, slapping her with the fact that Rika only respected Dominic as a true master.

"Before that, Madam, please give me your cellphone and the paper you are holding. I need to delete the call history so that this incident does not happen again in the future."

BAM!

"Take it all and get out of my way! In your eyes, I'm just a crazy cheater, right?! Take that and get out of my way, Rika! Don't make me hit you for going any further than this!" Alexa shouted after she threw the cell phone she was holding onto the hard floor. Her throat was starting to hurt from all the screaming. Tears began to well up in her eyes as disappointment began to fill her heart.

"Then, have a good rest, Madam."

After collecting the broken cellphones and wads of paper that Alexa threw, Rika bowed before leaving the room quietly. Alexa looked at the girl with hatred, not expecting that the respect the girl had been showing was just a pretense.

Alexa will hand over the number to Dominic if the number is truly related to his past. Alexa has no intention of betraying Dominic again. She just wanted to spend her life with Dominic, without a past, if that was her husband's wish.

But unexpectedly, Dominic went to such lengths just to keep an eye on her. From the start, Dominic just didn't trust Alexa. It didn't matter, even though his attitude was always gentle when he was with her.

"Ukh... sob, sob."

Not knowing how else to express her disappointment, Alexa started crying while sitting on her bed. She ignored the pain in her head when she remembered how cruelly Dominic had treated him all this time.

Even though they were just having fun yesterday, laughing like the world belonged to just the two of them. Alexa was starting to believe that the two of them would be the happiest couple of all time when reality suddenly hit her today.

In the end, people who have had an affair will continue to be labeled as cheaters. Dominic will not fully trust her, no matter how much he loves Alexa all this time.

Nausea suddenly rose when Alexa thought about the camera in her room again. Alexa ran hastily to the bathroom. The food she had previously eaten came back out, leaving Alexa with nothing but an empty stomach and an increasingly dizzy feeling.

"Dom..."

Alexa was only able to whisper a little before everything suddenly went dark for her.
